Madhav stood up and both of them hugged each other. Parth had tears in his eyes. But then madhav moved away and gave a disappointed gaze to Pandu family. Arjun understood but before he could say something. Madhav said that how could they danger the people of Hastinapur as if duryodhan could do such a crime with crown prince family then what would happen with common people. Everyone felt ashamed and Yuddhisthira and kunti decided to go back to get their rights. But krishna said,"a work is still left in panchal" when everyone was confused, Sahdev shouted," the swayamvar of Panchal Rajkumari". Arjun felt bitterness in his heart. He couldn't attend it and see her garlanding any other man. Krishna smiled and said, "yes and someone should attain the one he loves, shouldn't he?" Arjun blushed at this and asked for permission from Mata. She happily gave him permission and decided to fast for his victory.
The next day
Whole panchal was lighted with diyas and candels. Flowers could be seen in every corner and their petals were doing the work of carpet. Everyone was wearing their best clothes and giving daan. Happiness was seen in every corner. Yes, welcome to the swayamvar of rani ma, yagnaseni Draupadi. In the place where the swayamvar was taking place children of swarnpur and panchal were sitting at the top. Soon all royal people came and sat on their destined places. And six Brahmins entered there. And stood with other Brahmins. They did so because vasudev told them that they should not reveal themselves to the world until right moment.
Then enter the royal people of Panchal and then after giving rules of swayamvar, they introduced krishna and balram there as her teachers and while on their way krishnaa sakha thought to give their mamashree a visit.
"Pranipaat mamashree""Praniprat vasudev but I am not ur uncle, ur related to Pandavs."
"But still ur the uncle of my brother duryodhan" was the answer of morpankhdhari.
"I fear to become ur uncle"
the one who killed evil kansa laughed and said," why to fear uncle, after all I freed my uncle of a evil cycle but the question is have u come to win the swayamvar."
Sakuni denied and told about kauravas. He smiled and went away then some poets started singing song written for Panchali beauty and then she entered.
She came and greeted every one there and gracefully walked to her throne while all of them were shot by the arrows of kama. Duryodhan and karn with other kouravs present there looked at her with lust filled eyes and took in her pure smell. Not only them, many royal people looked at her same way but there were few who looked at her with respect. Being yagnaseni it was hard for her not to use her sword and tear the eyes of those lusty people. But she controlled herself and went to her seat unaware of a pair of hazel eyes who was worshipping her through his eyes then looked at his madhav who nodded slightly.
Then rajkumar Tejveer stood up and declared," This is my sister, most beautiful woman in the world, krishnaa, she is learned in shastras and sastras, not only is she the student of dwarkadeesh and his elder brother but also the famed queen of swarnpur. Quick witted, brave and beautiful, I hope that her varmala adorns the man that deserve my sister the most." Everyone smiled and Dristyadumna placed the task before the kings. One by one everyone failed. Even many kaurava have lost and went back to their place humiliated. Draupadi watched there sitting and waiting and observed all kings that came to her swayamvar. Almost all kings of arybharat and some god's too had come there. Then came the turn of rajkumar duryodhan. He declared that as he is a mace fighter, karn will participate for him. He was devastated as he wanted her for himself but he was under debt of duryodhan thus he have to do this. While he was going to the bow, a strong and firm voice told him, "no yuvraj duryodhan and angraj. U couldn't do that". Dristdyumn said and further tejveer said that the one who would marry his sister must himself shoot the aim. Duryodhan protested saying that how could he do that as he is a mace fighter and the competition should be of mace fight. Drupad kanya said," it is my marriage and not battlefield. I want to marry a archer." After a lot argument Karn participated for himself and failed. Shakuni asked them to marry her to duryodhan which lead to more verbal fight and finally duryodhan tried to break the kindhura bow. Krisnna replied after his failure that it's work is not finished and someone is there to win.
